I have a complete RB26DETT engine which has been modified to suit a vl (bolt it in and go - all it needs is a tune). In saying this - it would fit straight back into a Skyline with no hassles.

The engine is orginially out of a R32 GTR.

To make it suit a VL the following has been done:

* Custom Modified Sump (taking it from 4WD to just rear wheel).

* New Power Steering lines etc (all custom made to suit VL)

* Custom Throttle Cable

* Wiring loom modified to VL (designed to be hidden)

* All custom intercooler pipeing

* Custom front pipe to cat (2 into 1)

The setup comes with -

* Everything you need

* Vipec Plug and Play ECU

* Intercooler (GTR cooler) and pipes to suit (inc clamps and hoses)

* Drift BOV

* Wiring Loom to suit Vipec and VL (Vipec is the GTR version - looks completely stock).

The engine has been stripped down, checked, cleaned and put back together with all new gaskets etc. Anything that needed to be replaced did.

I have detailed this engine from ground up.

The covers have been smoothed where needed and painted in clear over base custom Silver.

Lots of bits and pieces polished by a professional (Twin Turbo Pipe, fuel reg etc).

Everything else such as water lines have been hand polished.

Nuts and bolts have been replaced with all brand new stainless steel.

Many hours and bucket loads of money have been spent to make this engine look the part and work 100% for a VL. It wouldnt be hard to get an engineers on this as its still fairly stock.

To get the engine alone and make it suit a VL without doing the detail I have done usually costs 7k straight up.

Once dynod these engines in this condition and simple mods that are on this should get around the 220 rwkw - 250rwkw. With more simple mods it can get a lot more without spending BIG dollards.

All the hard work is done for you - its a simple drop it in and go. It was going to be a show/street car with all the right things done.

I am sure I have probably left out lots of info, but please if you have any questions just ask.

No expense has been spared here. You can see from the pictures how many hours has gone into this

Below is a run down of costs that I have spent on this engine over the period its been mine, and you can also see the value for money.

RB26DETT Engine itself - $4500 (have reciepts)

Vipec Plug and Play - $1800 (have reciepts)

Custom Front Pipe to cat - $350

Power Steering Setup - $500 (Have to spend this to convert it to work for a VL)

Custom Hidden Wiringloom - $700

Cooler Pipes - $900

Polished Twin Pipe - $150

Other Polished parts - $150+

Custom Sump - $300

BOV - $200

Total $9550

And of course - that isnt including all gaskets and replacement parts I needed to get, or the detailing work either. Stainless steel bolts and painting etc - that all costs money. Plus hidden costs of throttles cables etc. Plus any labour i may of had to pay - as you can see Id be saving you money and time (LOTS of it)

Engine is currently in the car which is un useable on the road. Inspections are welcome, you can hear it running etc. The winning bidder will need to be aware the engine wont be available for pickup straight away as I will not be taking it out unless it sells.

I am open to offers above 7k. Will also consider a swap for stock RB30ET plus cash my way. I am wanting to put the VL back to stock and sell it.

Any questions please feel free to email anytime - [email protected]

Cheers for looking.

hi mate,

Very slightly OT, but can you explain what they did to the power steering to fit the VL (which is alow pressure system isn't it?)

very well detailed engine btw!

Hi Kent,

From memory there wasnt a lot that needed to be done. Just costs in buying the parts. It has an R33 GTST pump and just new lines made for it. Also, because I moved the battery we had to relocate the Power Steer bottle etc, so its modified to suit that. If you would like more detail, I can contact the person who did the power steering to get a more a better explination.

Cheers,

Matt

    • Yes, I know🙄 but the sequential is not in my budget... don't want to reduce power neither, so looks like I'm stuck in the rabbit hole🤣
    • You’ll be very upset when you bust that too not to mention the gearing totally sucks. Don’t do it.
    • Is the panel filter one that is oiled? Have you ever cleaned or touched the AFM?
    • So.... the K&N air box thingo was too big, ended up gifting it to a mate, well, by gifting it he actually supplied food and beer at the pub,  which was nice, as it will not sit on a shelf in the garage for the next 10 years I did trim up some of the existing stuff to neaten it all up and gave it some wrinkle paint, unfortunately it currently has a used and abused mish mash of different types of hose clamps, 4 big fat T bolt type (shit), and a few normal clamps of vairing sizes and brands, but..... only until the 6 constant tension black worm clamps that I ordered from EFI solutions turn up next week Currently the current hose clamps are triggering me hard, LOL Is this the final version, probably not, I really want just 2 silicone pieces, a straight bit of silicone from the filter to the MAF is easy and will happen as soon as I head into Just Jap tomorrow, the problematic part is a 30° silicone bend from the MAF to the TB that I can connect the engine breather from the head, I found that there are bulk head fittings for boat bilge pumps that should work, but until I can get a 30° silicone bend the alloy pipe, and the 11ty thousand hose clamps, are there for the foreseeable future 4 hose clamps are golden, 6 are grudgingly acceptable, the 8 currently holding it all together is just taking the piss    I've also ordered 60 more retaining wall blocks for the front yard, I mis-gonculated the height that was required to get above the base of the Photinia's (red robin's) that are the hedge behind the front fence, currently it is 2 blocks high, and about 1/2 a block short, so going 3 blocks high will be above the base of the red robin's, and allow some room for mulch
